Proposed

Overlake Transit Center is a bus station and proposed light rail station in Redmond, Washington. The current bus station opened in 2002 and is located on the Microsoft Redmond Campus; it is served by Sound Transit Express and King County Metro.

In 2023, it will become the eastern terminus of the Sound Transit East Link light rail line and be renamed to Redmond Technology Center station.

Location

The Redmond Technology Center light rail station will be located adjacent to State Route 520 near its interchange with NE 40th Street.[3]

A pedestrian bridge over State Route 520, connecting the station to the Microsoft campus, was funded by Microsoft and the City of Redmond in 2013 and is anticipated to be completed in 2020.[4][5]
